I should have stated that they are weighted by # of stars, but it
doesn't state what the number of stars means. These organizations have
been submitted to the list by their Chamber of Commerce I believe. It
doesn't state that they go the extra mile that Sears does. However,
there a lot of mom and pop stores on the list. I'd bet more than a few
are family members of our armed services or have been in the service
themselves, so don't leave them off your shopping lists.

Subject: [HP3000-L] OT: Shop at Sears!!!
Sears - Christmas shopping has already started
Could we each buy at least one thing at Sears this year?
How does Sears treat its employees who are called up for military duty?
By law, they are required to hold their jobs open and available, but
nothing more. Usually, people take a big pay cut and lose benefits as a
result of being called up.
Sears is voluntarily paying the difference in salaries and maintaining
all benefits, including medical insurance and bonus programs, for all
called up reservist employees for up to two years.
I submit that Sears is an exemplary corporate citizen and should be
recognized for its contribution. I suggest we all shop at Sears, and be
sure to find a manager to tell them why we are there so the company gets
the positive reinforcement it well deserves.
Pass it on.
Decided to check this before I sent it forward. So I sent the following
e-mail to the Sears Customer Service Department:
I received this e-mail and I would like to know if it is true. If it is,
the Internet may have just become one very good source of advertisement
for your company. I know I would go out of my way to buy products from
Sears instead of another store for a like item, even if it's cheaper at
that store.
This is their answer to my e-mail:
Dear Customer:
Thank you for contacting Sears. The information is factual. We
appreciate your positive feedback.
Sears regards service to our country as one of greatest sacrifices our
young men and women can make. We are happy to do our part to lessen the
burden they bear at this time.

Please pass this on to all your friends. Sears needs to be recognized
for this outstanding contribution and we need to show them as Americans,
we do appreciate what they are doing for our military!!!
